How to Heal Your Trauma, Elevate Your Energy & Vibrate Higher w/ Herbalist Jess Kravit | EP065

In this episode, we sit down with Jess Kravit, founder of Exalted Alchemy, to dive deep into the world of herbalism, natural wellness, entrepreneurship, and energetic healing. Jess breaks down what it really means to be a clinical herbalist in a modern world that’s both disconnected from nature and hungry for authenticity.From her journey with food-as-medicine and flower essences to the intentional, vibe-rich creation of her skincare, tinctures, and candles, Jess shares how she’s built a business that feels like an extension of self — and how she's learned to separate her identity from her brand. The conversation covers everything from garlic’s antiviral powers to the FDA's impact on herbalists, flower essence therapy, and the real energy behind making something by hand.00:00 – Intro & Meet Jess 00:01:11 – The Reality of Running a Product-Based Business 00:03:39 – Community & Entrepreneurial Friendships 00:04:58 – Herbalism Origins: From Vegetarianism to Clinical Study 00:07:03 – Toxic Skincare & Ingredient Awareness 00:08:25 – Food Disconnection & the Pharma Parallel 00:10:02 – Taste as Medicine: Why Capsules Aren’t Enough 00:11:34 – Exalted Alchemy Product Overview 00:13:03 – Skincare, Naming Products & Childhood Dreams 00:16:05 – Developing Ritual Products & Specialty Collaborations 00:17:36 – Top Go-To Herbs: Nettles, Elderberry & Garlic 00:20:01 – Garlic Suppositories & Alternative Treatments 00:21:27 – The Legal Limits of Herbalists 00:24:01 – Herbalism Is Ancestral Memory 00:25:21 – Customer Education & Skepticism 00:28:18 – Product Matching for Mental Health 00:31:11 – Flower Essences vs. Herbal Remedies 00:34:10 – Saint John’s Wort & Nerve Support 00:35:38 – Infusing Brand with Personality — and Separating from It 00:38:25 – Vibes, Intention & Energy in Products 00:41:15 – Making Tinctures, Face Oils & Energetic Skincare 00:44:16 – Flower Essences: How They’re Made 00:47:09 – Mental Health & Emotional Healing with Flower Essences 00:54:04 – From Survival to Thriving with Plants 00:58:11 – Live Demo: Grounding Spray Experience 01:00:16 – Candle Rituals & Gemini Moon Energy#Herbalism, #HerbalMedicine, #NaturalHealing, #HolisticHealth, #PlantMedicine, #EnergeticHealing, #FlowerEssenceTherapy, #FoodAsMedicine, #AlternativeMedicine, #EnergyHealing, #VibrationalHealing, #HealingJourney, #SpiritualWellness, #ConsciousLiving, #RitualsMatter, #HealingVibes, #MentalHealthAwareness, #GroundingPractices, #RestIsProductive, #MindBodySoul, #BurnoutRecovery, #ConsciousBusiness, #SpiritualEntrepreneur, #WellnessBrand, #AuthenticBranding, #CreativeEntrepreneur, #FounderStory, #PodcastInterview, #WellnessPodcast, #HealingPodcast, #YouTubePodcast, #WomenInWellness, #HealingConversations, #HolisticLivingJoin our exclusive community on GROUPED where you can find uncut episodes, messaging with your hosts, and early access to promotionshttps://app.grouped.com/whothoughtwedbeherepodJoin Whoop with our promotional code and get your first month free!https://join.whoop.com/us/en/Whothoughtwedbeherepod/Sign up for online therapy with our referral link.Get 20% off your first month with our podcast's link:Shout out to our favorite neighborhood screen printer JOKER INK  https://www.jokerink.com/NEW EPISODES WEEKLY!"Who Thought We'd Be Here?" is hosted by Steven Aigner and John Pugh. https://linktr.ee/whothoughtwedbeherepodPlease Like, Follow, Share, and Enjoy!!!
